Knee Lever Sweep

This is one of those techniques that seems tricky - but with some practice it may just become one of your favorite reversals

• Step 1

I have the right underhook and my right foot hooked into Eddie's thigh
• Step 2

My left hand controls Eddie's arm and my left leg is on the mat next to Eddie's knee
• Step 3

Eddie steps over my left leg in an attempt to pass, or I could make him step by feinting the sweep to my left
• Step 4

with mt left arm, I underhook Eddie's right leg as I fall back and lift Eddie on top of me with my right leg. I then quickly reach and grab Eddie's left ankle with my right hand (see next photo)
• Step 5

Here's the same technique from the other side - notice my right shin is pressed into the back of Eddie's left knee
• Step 6

I point my right knee forward into Eddie's knee and pull his foot back as I use the momentum of the knee push and the weight of Eddie falling back to sit up
• Step 7

I continue to press my right knee to the mat as I maintain control of Eddie's right leg
• Step 8

I get the left underhook and cover Eddie, keeping his leg trapped to the mat with my right shin
• Step 9

I kick my left leg out...
• Step 10

and take side control.
